Ahh it's been a while.....again. To rid the winter blues, not that this winter has been bad at all, it was time for the 2nd annual thrash. On...
Nice work. Keep it up. I have had way too much stuff going on this summer and have not been able to plug away at mine, but your progress is...
I second NCT. Bought some patch panels for my '35 and they fit great with minimal work. Great service as well.
Does anyone have pictures to compare the large truck fenders to the pick up truck fenders? Or does anyone have a picture of a pickup with the...
Nice build. I'm working on a 35 but you started out with a lot more than I did. All I had was the cab and it was not in good shape. Check out...
Made a little progress over the weekend. Found I had a need for a brake to make some pillar patches. I grabbed the scrap I had available and...
Made a little more progress on the rockers today. Drilled the inner to spot weld it to the outer, then welded the bottom seam where they meet....
Well after being in hibernation for the last 8 months, I finally have some updates on my build. Actually, summer gets in the way with fishing and...
Thanks, not too much more progress. I've been remodeling the house, so time is limited. I did order some patch panels from Northern Classic...
I agree, stay away from the Bay City branch. I had nothing but problems there and walked out during an argument with the woman. I actually went...
Here's mine. Pretty close to ride height. [IMG] Not too much farther along, but just got some rockers and cab corner patch panels to get rid...
Welcome from Bay City.
[IMG] Check out my album for more pics. I still need to button up the front end. Trying to get the front cross member worked out.
I had a great time as well. My arms are torched! If my truck doesn't make it next year, I'm definitely going to whip up a mini bike to race....
Damn it!!! That sounds bad ass. I didn't think you were going to actually do any work after I left. It looks like the second header pipe from...
I have a Clarke 125EN 110v machine. I have the gas kit they sell with it and have had good results. I dont trust it with anything structural,...
Today in Bay City was beautiful. With a 45 degree high and little wind, the man cave was full of action. Les (oldtin) made the hour trip up with...
Awsome. Love the look of custom gage faces.
If you need replacement steel rockers or cab corners check this place out http://www.northernclassictrucks.com/ They also have a parts for beds...
I could have used the original frame but it was a big truck frame and I figured i would have more time into modifying that frame than starting...
Here are some more pics of the frame with the cab off of it. [IMG] [IMG]
I dont think I will have room with the engine in there to extend the firewall any.
Congrats, but what are you going to do with all that free time?
Looks good so far. Check out my build http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=408542 Your cab seems to be in better shape than mine
I do plan on putting fish plates on all of the joints. They will all be covered by the body, less the ones ahead of the cab. They will most...
Well, it has been quite a while since an update. After a fire at the in-laws and trying to get their house gutted to get the contractors in...
welcome from Bay City, Mi
Welcome from the Saginaw Bay area
The cab will get channeled over the frame and the the top chopped with laid back pillars. As far as how much? Not sure, when the time comes I'll...
VAP - no it's the opening quote out of "Talladega Nights." I googled it and came up with it being fake, but it's hilarious as is the movie. I'm...
